Alfred’s Story

PG 1 - Alfred

Today, ten-year-old Alfred’s face radiates joy; a broad, bright smile lights up his face. And Alfred has good reason to smile: today, he can walk without pain.

Until this year, Alfred spent his entire life hobbling on feet painfully twisted by clubfoot. His parents could not find treatment for him so, for nine years they could only watch as his condition deteriorated.

Alfred probably would have spent the rest of his life this way if CURE had not visited his village and scheduled him for surgery at the hospital in Kenya. Instead, Alfred can go to school and wear normal shoes like his friends. He is a living, breathing, walking miracle!
